- Welcome back, y'all,
to the first day of Singles Awareness Week.
Yup.
Yup, I hear you.
And feel you.
Whether you're single or not though,
I encourage everyone to buy a little something special
for yourself this week.
Why not?
And if you need some ideas, we've got you.
You're welcome in advance.
We have three super successful women joining us.
They each launched their own company
after creating a fashionable, yet functional product
that also happens to make a fabulous gift.
Please welcome the founder and CEO of Roam, Kay Sides.
Give it up! (audience claps)
And the co-founder and CEO of Bandolier, Maggie Drake.
Give it up! (audience claps)
And if you can't hear them,
there's a lot of audience clapping for you,
I'm just letting you know.
It's virtual, it's weird, but it's happening.
And the founder and CEO of Gemist, Madeline Fraser.
Give it up! (audience claps)
Thank you all for being here.
I'm so excited, I was looking at all y'all's stuff
during the commercial break.
So, Kay, I wanna start with you.
Tell us about Roam.
- Thanks, Kelly.
Roam is a luxe casual fashion line.
It's curated with style, sensibility and a lot of love
for all facets of your life.
I was blessed to be born and raised in Hawaii,
so I've always been in love with nature,
outdoors, adventure sports
and spent years looking for a footwear option
that was structurally sound, super comfy, looked elevated,
but was actually affordable.
And I never found one so I decided to make my own.
So there's a ton of research science and technology
that goes into each pair.
So we start with a custom-molded foot bed
that's wrapped in neoprene for breathability and wicking.
And we also have a cool innovative technique
that enables us to insert memory foam into the uppers
that really allow the shoes to mold and form to your feet,
creating that signature hug and keeping your feet
roaming and happy.
- Dude, it's so soft as well.
Well done.
Thank you so much, Kay.
- Aw, thank you so much.
- Absolutely. (clapping)
All right, Maggie, we're over to you.
So tell us about Bandolier.
- Bandolier is the original cross-body phone case.
And I had the idea for this, one day, standing in my kitchen
after I had lost my phone for the umpteenth time.
So I was so frustrated and I just thought to myself
I need to attach my phone to my body,
but it had to look cool.
It had to look great.
And I wanted to figure out a way
where it was gonna be something that I wanted to wear
every day, no matter what I was wearing.
But I was thinking, what is it, what would that look like?
And I knew after just looking at my own phone case,
which was just a plain leather case,
I knew exactly what I wanted.
It was going to be black leather.
It was gonna have credit card slots on the back.
So all I needed was my phone ID and credit card.
And then it was gonna have a thin, gold snake chain.
So very chic, stylish, easy to wear.
I could wear with a T-shirt and jeans
or I could wear it with my favorite little black dress.
So I teamed up with a really good friend
who had manufacturing experience and we got to work
and Bandolier was born.
- It's so cool, I love the gold little chain on yours
and the black, that's cool.
It's rock and roll, I'm into that, Maggie.
- [Maggie] Yup. - Well, thank you so much.
It's so great, it's a perfect gift too
to give your self or somebody.
Okay, I'm gonna move over though.
Madeline, last but not least.
Hello, tell us about Gemist.
- Yeah, so Gemist is actually
the very first digital platform
that allows you to fully design
and customize your own jewelry online.
And you can actually try on your custom pieces
at home before you buy them, which is such a perk,
considering we can't leave our homes right now.
- [Kelly] Yeah.
- And, really, the idea is everything from everyday jewelry
all the way to bridal.
So we have earrings, necklaces, rings, engagement rings
wedding bands, anything you need.
It's all about creating jewelry
that really is an expression of who you are,
within your style and price point
which is really important.
So Gemist does everything from everyday jewelry
all the way to bridal,
but our everyday pieces are really fantastic
and a great way to express yourself
and design your own and then try them on at home.
We have everything from necklaces, earrings
and stackable rings.
They're beautiful, dainty, fun
and all made sustainably in Los Angeles.
- I love these little ones that you did
with the emeralds and the sapphires.
This is really cool,
I like that you can create your own vibe, that's super cool.
And they're all really cool.
And everybody, you should check out
everything here, all right.
You can find out
how to buy a little something for yourself
or someone special this year,
all while supporting a woman-owned business
at kellyclarksonshow.com.
They're all really awesome in person too, I'm just saying.
If it looks good on TV, you should imagine the real thing.
But love is in the area, y'all,
for everyone in our house seats today.
Cupid will be delivering all of you
a $300 gift card for Roam, a $300 gift card for Bandolier
and a pair of floral clustered Huggie earrings from Gemist
worth nearly $350.
Y'all, happy Singles Awareness Week, everybody!
Are you excited? (audience cheering)
These earrings are cute, I saw them up here.
They are very cute.
Thank you again, Kay, Maggie and Madeline, for taking the--
